* Can Anybody Aiuwer TKIe?
There are many things, an we ore
accustomed to admit from time to
(lirt'tf, which puzzle us mightily, and
The Yorkvill* Enquirer, long yviclely
known as one of the very best of
country newspapers of the United
States, calls attention to one of the
situations which we have tided vainly
to comprehend.
During the fiscal year ending last
July l, The Enquirer finds, York
county motorists uaed more than .V
200,0U0 gallons of gasoline and during
July and August they used 506,$00
gallons. The Enquirer estimates that
the people of its county are traveling
something like &3,000,000 miles a
year. It also estimates that they are
spending in excess of #040,000 a year
for gasoline, or about #13 pef capita,
this expenditure amounting to more
half the value of the county's
cotton crop. *
York, just over the line, from this
, stato in South Carolina, and a favorite
resort for Tarheel couples averse
to marrying at home, is a good solid
county and its people have never been
wholly dependent on cotton.
But cotton is probably their main
cash cixtp and the figures The Enquirer
gives leave u? wondering how
they can spend half their income from
cotton for gasoline apd still find the
money they need for other things.
We wish that The Enquirer would
pursue its investigations further and
enlighten us if it can.?Ashoville
Citizen,
BACK TO THE FARM!
National interest has been aroused
in a suggestion made a short time
ago by Editor Walter P. McGuire of
the Southside Virginia News, Peteraburg,
Virginia; tlid suggestion being
that farm boys keep on the farm.
It's a simple suggestion, and a very
sound one. llow much unemployment
has been caused by the trek from
farm tb city is problematical?but it
would make an impressive total.
These young men, for the most part,
are untrained and inexperienced and
unfitted for factory work. They rarely
find jobs above the common labor
level. They are the first to bo dismissed
when times get hard?and the
last to be taken back when recovery
starts.
They know farming?and the farm
is where they belong, for their own
good nnd for that of the nation. It
is on the farm that they have their
chance to prosper and live happy and
useful lives. It's time the trend was
reversed?with the farm-boys-turncdcity-boys
going home- again.?Industrial
News Review.
State Senator W. 11. Nicholson, of
Greenwood, has been lighting in the
supreme court for several days in an
effort to prevent his disbarment as
an attorney,,because he was not able
to replace some trust funds in his
hands. He resigned from the bar of
Greenwood county, as disbarment
proceedings were imminent,"- a year
and a half ago, and now asks the
supreme court to allow him to withdraw
his resignation and confirm his
status as' a member of the bar. The
lawyers of Greenwood are nearly all
for him, but several persons whose
money ho could not pay over, on an
accounting, are resisting the efforts
to rehabilitate him as an attorney.

Mr. Weathers Hears
From Son In
V
J. It, Weathers, residing on route
1, whs showing a Chronicle man a
letter received from his son, Private
Kugene Weathers, who is now stationed
at Shanghai, China. He is
with the Marines in Chinese waters
and writes interestingly of his experiences.
Accompanying his letter
were clippings and photos from The
China Press, an American daily.paper
published in> Shanghai. When his
letter was written they weiV- having
one of those terrible typhoons, commonly
visited upon China..*
He writes: "Don't know how long
we uie going to hi' he\;e fojty we are
hnvipg some bad weather here now
and can't go to sea. A typhoon has
just hit here an^l the Whang Poo
river overflowed its banks. I went
ashore Saturday and couldn't get
back until Monday, The streets were
knee deep in water and farther up
.the river there were lots of houses
and people destroyed; but this isn't
anything new in China for they have
those floods every year."

A large cabin cruiser motor boat
capable of sailing the raging main,
with accommodations for feeding and
sleeping eight persona, was built this
summer and completed recently on
the upper stretch of the Pee Dee river

The builder and owner is D. M. Rood,
of Philadelphia, for a lifetime engaged
in navy yards and at pattern making,
who discovered excellent woods,
while visiting his uncle at Drake,
and stayed to build the boat. It was
formally christened 'by his aunt in
the presence of about 50 guests, before
Mr. and Mrs. Reed started in it,
the other day, for Georgetown, Gharleston
and Florida ports.

Capital Observations
Washington, Oct. 17.?In its issue
of a couple of days ago there appeared
In the Raleigh, N, O,, News
and Observer, the following item:
"In Washington they have doleful
spells becauHe they fear prices aren't
going up fast enough to help the
farmers. In North Carolina the
state purchasing department U crying
aloud that If prices keep on going
up there won't be enough tax
payers' money to do the buying.
Seems to be need for h bigger and
better department of co-ordination,"
Regarding the present status of
economic conditions, in addition to entertaining
hope and expressing confidence,
there is nece.^ity for exercising
patience.

Next month New York City will
hold^an election for mayor, and the
campaign is attracting general interest
throughout the country far
mofy than would be the case in any
other place, and for sufficient reasons,
Differing from other very large
cities New York is overwhelmingly
Democratic, and for that reason the
oppsition press is always especially
active. The local Democratic organization
is dominated by Tammany
Hall, which, like the controlling forces
elsewhere, gives evidence of political
irregularities and a lack of a high
moral standing. Tammany shortcomings
are gonerally emphasized
and magnified with a view of discrediting
the Democratic party, but the
fact remains that the organization's
boast of political regularity Is borne
out at election times, and last year
Roosevelt received in the city the
largest yote ever cast there, In spite
of his nomination having been opposed.
Frequently during off .years
efforts are made to wrest control from
Tammany, and that is the case this
year in pushing the candidacy of an
independent Democraat, Joseph V. I
McKee, who entered at a late day,
after refusing the fusion nomination
in the spring. 0 This has hurt his J
chances, while he is able and politic-i
ally clean, having served temporal ilyj
as mayor for a few months last year. J
The fusion nomination went to Flor- I
ello H. LaGuardia, who has had a J
varied political career, having in .he I
past been elected to Congress as a
Socialist and a Republican He was
defeated in the landslide last .year.
The third formidable contender is
John P. O'Brien, the regular Demo-1
cratic nominee, who is now mayor.
The race bids fair to be very close
and no candidate ^seems to have any
decided advantage.

The legislature of another Southern
state, Texas, has refused ^to ratify
the so-called child labor amendment
to the Federal constitution, which
would give Congress power to regulate
or prohibit work on the part of
young people under eighteen years
of age. Thus another step is taken
to prevent its ultimate adoption,
* + ?
The twentieth amendment to the
constitution of the United States,
which abolished lame duck sessions
of Congress, establishlished two records
in American history. It required
the shortest time for ratification,
that is within somewhat less
than a year, and it is the only change
in the constitution which has had the
unanimous approval of the forty-eight
states, v
?
General Johnston, national recovery
administrator, was recently asked
when he intended to relinquish tys
position. His reply was, "When my I
job is finished." A late wisecrack
about the Blue Eagle is the NRA
means ""National Recovery Assured."
Perhaps the administrator thinks that
his job will not be finished until then. I
Republicans of high standing are
ready to jump on the administration
promptly upon evidence of failure of
the recovery efforts, or upon indications
that it will not result in any
material good, and some of them are
already jumping in advance. Former
Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana,
who was defeated last year, has m ide
a speech condemning the recovt ry
program, hut his views have 1 </n
endorsed to only a very limited ( xter.t
by hi- partisans. It i> especially i
to i>e noted that former President)
Hoover has declined or failed to g /e
any encouragement to the critics of
the administration's program.
* * ,
Several stales have abolished capI
ital * punishment, but the age-old
remains as to its efficacy.
However, there can be no question
that it is effective in the individual
instances where applied. A prominent
legislator, upon being asked if
he believed that capital punishment
would deter crime, replied that he did
not know, as he had never tried it.

County Agent Has
Been a Busy Man
According to information from the
office of County Agent Henry D.
Green, Kershaw county has received
1719 cotton checks, the whole amounting
to $110^46.89. Thin is not the
full number due the county but the
balance is expected within the nextj
few days. Notices are sent out ^pj
the producers as soon as their checks
arrive and they are requested to call
at the agents office and receive their
check Immediately after they get
their notice.
Not only has Mr. Green handled
these cotton checks, but he has had
to handle in connection with Supervisor
W. C. Parham the seed loan
fund, all of which made the huge
sum of $910,000 passing through Jus
office, Jn ^conversation with Supervisor
Parham this week he told us
that the work handled by Mr. Green
had been done without a penny being
out of balance, and no lost checks.
He has carried on this work in connection
with the other di^i,df the
farm agents office. He has also put
Kershaw county in the lead in the j
growing of crotalaria, Austrian peas, ]
vetch and has assisted very mater- ,
ially in making Kershaw fcounty one (
of the leading forestry counties. Su- j
pervisor Parham says that he ^kas j
never had heartier cooperation from (
any agent than that given him by Mr. ,
Green. He also stated that he cpn- ]
siders the present cbunty agent one \
of the best in the state and believes,
he has done more for the farmers of |
this county than the great majority
of agents qf the state. I
This newspaper is glad to hear j
these good reports of his work.
With pleasant association with him .
for the past four years we know that
they are true and he has labored
hard to be of service to the farming
interests of the county.
